CFR 275.204A-1) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940'' (15 U.S.C. 
80b-1 et seq.). Rule 204A-1, the Code of Ethics Rule, requires

to the adviser's chief compliance officer or another person designated 
in the code of ethics, of any violations of the code. Finally, the code 
of ethics requires the adviser to provide each supervised person with a 
copy of the code and any amendments, and requires the supervised
